Catholic Church leader resigns from Towson hospital board after Sun reveals role in abuse cover-ups

A Catholic priest resigned from his position on the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center’s board of directors after The Baltimore Sun revealed his role in helping to cover up child sexual abuse within the Archdiocese of Baltimore. Monsignor Richard “Rick” Woy, a longtime board member at the Towson hospital, delivered his resignation letter Saturday to St. Joseph Board Chairman Gerard Holthaus after giving word Friday that he planned to do so, Holthaus said.
